Colombina: Captivating consumers with flavor and wellness
Colombina’s evolution as a confectionery and food company parallels global trends, revealing a portfolio of products bursting with flavors, natural ingredients and nutritional benefits.
Colombina, which started as a small confectionery concern more than 85 years ago, is now a global diversified food and candy company based in Cali, Colombia with sales working their way to the billion-dollar mark. What makes this company stand out is its ability to delight consumers with unparalleled and gratifying products, lead by its iconic brands, which includes Bon Bon Boom bubble gum pops, Tiger Pops lollipops and Fussione premium candies. It’s a formula that has global appeal as the company exports to 70 countries, a list that continues to expand.
Colombina S.A.’s origins go back to 1927, when Don Hernando Caicedo, its founder began to mix sugar with natural and tropical fruits from the fertile lands of Valle del Cauca. This mixture resulted in the production of many novel candies and pralines with tropical flavors that managed to capture the consumers’ fancy across generations. Over the years Colombina began to diversify its operations into other categories, such as biscuits, sauces and preserves, ice cream and drinks among others. Today, Colombina has become one of the most important food companies in Colombia and the continent.
